STAFF COMMENTS: Water Management: This project was previously permitted as a commercial excavation under Permit No. 59. 308 and provisional use petition PU-87-24C. The excavation permit was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on April 12 , 1988 and allowed the excavation of 124 acres of lakes with the off-site removal of 1. 6 million cubic yards of excavated material. A surface water permit was issued by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) on January 1, 1988 . Due to the concerns of adjacent property owners, the Board of County Commissioners imposed the following conditions of approval on the original commercial excavation permit issuance: 1) No blasting allowed; 2) No dewatering nor water pumping which would affect ground water conditions; 3) Waiver of "minimum" depth requirement subject to detailed information from applicant to determine extent of need to waive depth requirements beyond slope of excavation; 4) No removal of rock or impervious layer separating shallow water aquifer (fresh water) from deeper ground water aquifer (salt water) ; 5) Monitoring wells to be installed north and south of excavation to provide test data applicable to shallow water aquifer; and 6) Applicant remains liable to surrounding owners for adverse effects from operations. Commercial excavation activities began shortly after permit issuance on June 22 , 1988 . On October 2 , 1991 the commercial excavation permit expired through lack of activity and was deemed null and void. It appears that with the conditions of no blasting and no dewatering, it was impossible for the contractor to excavate the lakes to the required depths due to the presence of rock. There are currently six shallow excavations on-site which are overgrown with cattails. Again, no activity has occurred on this site within the last four years and all previous excavation permits are null and void. The applicant now proposes a Planned Unit Development with two water management lakes. These proposed lakes are in the area of the two largest existing lakes on-site. The four smaller lakes on-site will be filled in for development. EAB Meeting 8/3/1994 PUD-89-33 Page 3 The proposed water management system consists of interconnected lakes with three outfalls; two outfalls will discharge southward into on-site wetlands adjoining state owned wetlands (Rookery Bay Preserve) . The other outfall will discharge northward to on-site wetlands at the northeast corner of the property. Discharge to the on-site wetland areas will enhance the hydroperiod and will mimic natural conditions through the use of spreader swales. Surface water discharge from properties to the north will be routed around this project to a spreader swale at the southwest corner of this project. Peak discharge from the developed site will not exceed pre-development rates nor will the Barefoot Williams Road roadside swales be impacted by this development. Although the Board of County Commissioners imposed conditions of no blasting and no dewatering (among others) with the commercial excavation, blasting in conjunction with localized dewatering is necessary to bring the two lakes into compliance with the minimum depth requirements (6 feet below mean low water elevation) of the Excavation Ordinance. Acknowledging the fact that these lakes will be turned over to a homeowner's association for maintenance, it is desirable to have both lakes constructed to the correct depths to ensure undo maintenance hardships are not incurred by the future homeowners. Based on a January, 1990 report prepared by Missimer & Associates (included in support documents) which assesses the effects of shallow blasting operations on the quality of water in the Surficial Aquifer System, blasting performed by a competent contractor should not cause vertical migration of the higher chloride content groundwater of the Lower Tamiami Aquifer, into the lower chloride groundwater of the Water Table Aquifer. This conclusion is supported with the observation that lakes were previously constructed within five hundred feet (500' ) of the subject property (as part of Eagle Creek Golf Course) with no apparent adverse impacts to the surrounding properties. This information provides adequate justification for Project Plan Review to recommend that appropriate blasting be permitted in conjunction with localized dewatering to facilitate the completion of the water management lakes. Environmental: The site itself is principally an upland parcel ringed on its north, west and south sides by wetlands of various types. About thirty (30) years ago large scale disturbances to the site's central uplands occurred through drainage and cultivation for vegetable farming. In 1988 earthmining was permitted resulting in six borrow ponds on the site ranging from 3 . 7 acres to 25. 4 acres. The remaining upland acreage continued to be farmed until a few years ago when the fields were left to fallow. EAB Meeting 8/3/1994 PUD-89-33 Page 4 Approximately two hundred twenty (220) acres or eighty-four percent (84%) of the site (263 acres total) has been striped of its original vegetation. Dominant vegetation now consists of Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius) , wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera) , salt bush (Baccharis sp. ) , water primroses (Ludwigia spp. ) , coastal plain willow (Salix caroliniana) , false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica) , cattail (Typha sp. ) , torpedo grass (Panicum repens) , sedges (Cyperus sp. ) , cow pea (Vigna luteola) , para grass (Panicum purpurascens) , Caesar weed (Urena lobata) , carpetweed (Lippia nodiflora) , Sida sp. , Spanish needles (Bidens alba) , white vine (Sarcostemma clausum) , etc. Three of the borrow ponds are currently about ninety percent (90%) covered in cattails. Native plant communities presently found on site include a cypress swamp, pine flatwoods, mesic oak-palm forest and cordgrass (Spartina) marsh. These are mostly located in pockets along the edge of the site and are difficult to access due to exotic plant species (Brazilian pepper) invasion. Collier County jurisdictional wetlands occur on 27 . 7 acres of the property, of which 4 . 25 acres are proposed for impacts. The wetland areas proposed for impact are heavily (60-100%) invaded by Brazilian pepper. Listed wildlife species found on the subject property include the American alligator (Alligator Mississippensis) , little blue heron (Egretta caerulea) and tricolored heron (Egretta tricolor) . Collier County zoning maps also indicate a bald eagle overlay for the site. Contacts with the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission (FGFWFC) Naples office and field observations indicate that the bald eagle nest location is over 1, 500 feet from the project site boundary. A copy of the map obtained from Joe Bozzo, Biologist, FGFWFC, giving the bald eagle nest site location is included in the Environmental Impact Statement Addendum. A review of the index maps of historical/archaeological probability of Collier County, Florida, reveals no archaeological of historical sites likely to be present within the project area. V. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of Planned Unit Development Petition No. PUD-89-33 , "Land's End Preserve" . This recommendation carries specific stipulations as identified below. Water Management: 1. If dewatering is deemed necessary by the blasting contractor, then cells no greater than one acre in area may be dewatered to the top of the caprock (about 6'BLS) and blasted one cell at a time. Dewatering for the lake excavation shall not occur; removal of the material shall be performed under wet conditions. EAB Meeting 8/3/1994 PUD-89-33 Page 5 All necessary permits for dewatering shall be obtained from the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) prior to commencement of excavation. Groundwater pumped during dewatering shall be retained on-site for recharge purposes. Under no circumstance shall any off-site pumping occur. 2 .

Cabbage palm hammocks and fringes of live oaks are also present. Listed species were observed by the consultant on site. For a more complete description of methods used, species for which surveys were conducted, and species observed, the reader is directed to the EIS for this project. The following animals observed on site are classified as species of special concern by the Florida Game & Fresh Water Fish Commission (FGFWFC) : white ibis (Eudocimus albs) , gopher tortoise (Gopherus polvphemus) , and American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) . The habitat of the alligator and ibis will be impacted by the proposed construction, however, additional habitat will be created or enhanced in the lakes and littoral zones. The gopher tortoises are proposed to be relocated on site at the conclusion of construction. The Big Cypress fox squirrel (Sciurus niger) is listed as threatened by the FGFWFC. Its habitat will be impacted by the destruction of pine flatwoods. The Florida panther (Felis concolor coryi) and Florida black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) were not observed on site, however, considering their wide ranging habits, it is probable that the site is at times utilized by these animals. As a result of a phase I & II archaeological survey and assessment, nine prehistoric sites were determined to be within the project boundaries. The petitioner proposes preservation of significant sites and data collection and analysis of lesser sites. The proposed project does not fall within a groundwater protection zone.

STAFF COMMENTS: Water Management: The surface water management system for Sherwood Park will consist of four (4) interconnected lakes using equalize pipes. The lakes will comprise approximately 12 . 3 acres of the 79 . 5± acre property. Surface runoff will be conveyed to the lakes through catch basins and culverts. The water management system will be designed to control approximately 58 . 5 acres of the property. The northern 21 acres of the site will not be developed and is to be left in its natural state through a platting restriction. The water management system will be designed to control the 25 year, 3 day storm event over the developed portion of the property at a discharge rate of 0. 15 cfs/acre. The system will discharge to the I-75 right-of-way conveyance facilities under a drainage connection permit to be obtained from the Florida Department of Transportation. The discharge connection to the I-75 facilities will be through an open grassed swale from the project's control structure which will be located in the northeast corner of the site's northernmost lake. The ultimate point of discharge will be to the Golden Gate Canal. Environmental: The site was reviewed by Staff and presented to the EAB on July 6, 1994 as petition PSP-94-9.

Mulhere Date Acting Current Planning Manager COLLIER COUNTY TRANSPORTATION SERVICES "STANDARD CONDITIONS" EXCAVATION PERMIT APPLICATIONS INVOLVING OFF-SITE REMOVAL OF MATERIAL The intent of these "Standard Conditions" are to provide excavation permit applicants a summary of conditions which may affect their projects and which should be taken into consideration during all stages of project development: 1 . Haul routes between an excavation site and an arterial road shall be private with property owner (s) approval or be a public collector road built to• standards applicable to handle the resulting truck traffic. Where residential areas front collector roads, appropriate turn lanes, buffer and bikepath shall be required as minimal site improvements and if recommended for approval , shall be so with the condition that the Transportation Sorvices Administration reserves the right to suspend or prohibit: off-site removal of excavated material should such removal create a hazardous road condition or substantially deteriorate a road condition; such action by the Transportation Services Administration shall be subject to appeal before the Board of County Commissioners. 2 . Haul routes utilizing public roads shall be subject to road maintenance and road repair or an appropriate fair share by the permittee in accordance with Excavation Ordinance No. 92-73 and Right-of-Way Ordinance No. 82-91 . 3 . Off-site removal of excavated material shall be subject to Ordinance No. 92-22 (Road Impact Ordinance) . A traffic and road impact analysis shall be made by the County to determine the effects that off-site removal of excavated material will have on the road system within the excavation project's zone of influence. If appropriate, road impact fees in accordance with Ordinance No. 92-22 shall be paid prior to the issuance of an excavation permit. 4 . The Transportation Services Administration reserves the right to establish emergency weight limits on public roadways affected by the off-site removal of excavated material; the procedure for establishment of weight limits shall be the presentation of an applicable resolution before the Board of County Commissioners. Should weight limits be instituted, the permittee shall be responsible to implement measure to assure that all heavy truck loadings leaving the permit's property conform to the applicable weight restriction. 5 . The Excavation Performance Guarantee shall apply to excavation operations and also the maintenance/repair of public roads in accordance with current ordinances and applicable permit stipulations . 6 . Based on soil boring information per Ordinance No. 92-73 , a blasting permit may be appropriate. Should a blasting permit application be submitted and should residential areas exist within one mile of the excavation site, the County reserves the right to deny a blasting permit based on concerns for off-site impacts from blasting at an excavation site. Should a blasting permit be considered and approved, the minimum conditions of approval in addit.ion to conditions per Ordinance No. 92-73 are as follows: A . Structure inventory/monitoring and applicable property owner release as required by the Development Services Director. B. Security bond applicable to private property damage acceptable to the County. C. Control of size/depth/number of charges per blast by the Development Services Director . D. The right of the County to suspend and/or revoke blasting permit authority should be determined that blasting activities are creating unacceptable off-site conditions either in terms of private property damage and/or related physical effects of blasting operations. 7 . No excavation permit shall be issued until receipt of a release from the Transportation Services Administration . applicable to proper mitigation of off-site impacts, meeting of applicable provisions of Ordinance No. 82-91, Ordinance No. 92-22 , and Ordinance No. 92-73 .

Engineering Consultant: Wilson, Miller, Barton & Peek, Inc. Environmental Consultant: Wilson, Miller, Barton & Peek, Inc. The subject petition was reviewed and approved by the Environmental Advisory Board (EAB) at its August 3 , 1994 meeting. During the discussion of this item, the question was raised on whether or not this project's water management plan would be reviewed by the EAB. It was the consensus of the EAB, the Petitioner and County Staff that Staff would prepare a response to the water management issue at the next EAB meeting. Currently the Land Development Code (LDC) does not require water management plans for a conditional use petition to be reviewed by the EAB. Engineering (Project Plan Review) reviews the water management plans conceptually to assure that the project will be able to meet the County's water management requirements. A more detailed review occurs when the project is submitted for earthmining and/or site development plan review. Normally the detailed water management plan, would not come back for review by the EAB unless the conditional use petition is either a commercial excavation or the EAB requests a final review of the water management plan. This particular petition may or may not fall under the category of a commercial excavation. The petitioner is currently negotiating with Florida Rock, Inc. to take the surplus rock from their lake excavations. If this should occur, the surplus material would be transported across the common property line and be processed for commercial use by Florida Rock Inc. Under this circumstance, Collier County would require the payment of Road Impact Fees paid in advance for all material provided to Florida Rock Inc. since this material would eventually be transported over County roads. If an agreement between Florida Rock Inc. and the Petitioner does not occur, the Petitioner has stated that all material will stay on site. EAB Members Summary Report CU-94-13 September 7 , 1994 Page 2 Attached for your information are copies of the correspondence received from the Petitioner's engineer which provides a synopsis of the projects water management plan. Staff has reviewed this conceptual plan and it appears to comply with the County's LDC water management requirements. In the event that the Board feels that this information is not sufficient and/or wishes to review the final water management plan, it can be scheduled as a future agenda item.

Bonita Springs, Florida 33923 PREPARED BY: WILSON, MILLER, BARTON & PEEK, INC. 3200 Bailey Lane, Suite 200 Naples, Florida 33942 June 15, 1994 Work Order 15946 6/14/94-06950015.MRS 1 PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to request a conceptual/construction approval of the project's surface water management system. The project's surface water management system will serve 984± acres of golf course development. We are requesting conceptual approval for the clubhouse and maintenance facility. We are requesting construction approval for the remaining improvements including 36 holes of golf course, entrance road, gate house, rest shelters, and backbone water surface management system. BACKGROUND: The property which is the subject of this report referred to herein as Bonita Bay East Golf Course is proposed to be a 984± acre golf course development. The project does not have an existing SFWMD surface water management permit. EXISTING FACILITIES: The project is located within the Cocohatchee River Canal sub-basin which is part of the large watershed basin referred to on the Collier County Drainage Atlas (May 1990) as the Cocohatchee River Basin. The sub-basin consists of the borrow canal excavated along the north side of CR-846, Immokalee Road, and the land immediately adjacent to the borrow canal. The sub-basin consists of approximately 75 square miles of agricultural, residential, recreational, and undeveloped land use areas. Presently, the project generally consists of undeveloped pine upland, pine-cypress wetland, pasture, and fallow agricultural areas. The project is zoned Agricultural, (A). The project is bordered on the south by SR 846, Immokalee Road, right-of-way, on the north, east and west by undeveloped uplands and wetlands zoned Agricultural, (A). Also, a Florida Rock Industries, Inc. rock quarry is contiguous to the project's southwestern property boundary. Pre-development surface water flow patterns consist of overland flow from the northeast to southwest. Presently, the Cocohatchee River Canal, borrow canal, located along the project's southern property boundary serves as the receiving waters. The Cocohatchee River Canal ultimately outfalls into the Gulf of Mexico. Off-site flow enters the project via overland flow from the north. Existing surface water management facilities located on-site include agricultural swales, ditches, and miscellaneous corrugated metal culverts. 6/14/94-06950015.MRS 2 PROPOSED FACILITIES: The proposed surface water management system will serve a 984± acre golf course development. The system will consist of nine drainage areas which will utilize lakes and open space areas to provide the required water quality storage volume. Lakes, conservation areas, and open space areas will provide the water quantity storage volume. Storm sewers, swales and overland flow will convey run-off to the storage areas. The control elevations are determined using groundwater monitoring data, hydrobiologic indicators, and existing SFWMD permits from surrounding projects. The post-development peak discharge rate for the project will be equal to 0.04 cfs/acre per Collier County Ordinance No. 90-10. The project is divided into four drainage areas: DA1, DA2, DA3, and DA4. Water management improvements are proposed in the first three drainage areas and constitute the project area. DA4 is an area of contiguous ownership, but is currently excluded from the project area. DA4 is predominated by wetland cover and runoff generated over the area will be routed through or around the project area. At this time the owner does not have a plan for DA4 and will not agree to a conservation easement over the area which will unduly encumber the area. DA1 is divided into two sub-areas each having a different control elevation. Each area will provide water quality and peak storm attenuation. Both areas will discharge via a control structure to an existing ditch which runs along the westerly property line and discharges uncontrolled to the Immokalee Road Canal. The existing ditch is located on the Bonita Bay property and accepts flow from both the Bonita Bay property and the westerly adjacent lands. The existing ditch will be cleaned out and expanded, and will continue to be utilized as an uncontrolled collector ditch for the existing served properties. DA1B will accept sheetflow from the westerly portion of DA4 via collector swales. DA2 is an area which is predominated by wetland cover. The upland islands will be utilized for golf course and lake. The majority of sheetflow from DA4 will be routed into DA2. The combined runoff from DA2 and DA4 will sheetflow in a southerly direction to the Immokalee Road Canal. The post development sheetflow patterns are intended to closely match pre- development. Water quality for the golf course runoff will be provided in the lake system or in swale separating the golf course and undisturbed areas. A berm around the golf course is not proposed so that the golf course and lakes can provide storage during major storm events. Depending on the specific location some golf course runoff is directed towards the adjacent wetlands and some towards the lakes. DA3 is divided into two sub-areas each having different control elevations. Each area will provide water quality and peak storm attenuation. DA3 will discharge into the Immokalee Road Canal via a control structure. 6/14/94-06950015.MRS 3 88-31--1995 08:88Ah1 P.01 Q'Telefax from:DAVID S.WILKISON,WILKISON&ASSOCIATES,INC.
